Events

A Key Benefit for Our Members

Members are invited to attend our own high-quality events throughout the year, included as part of their membership. This includes our flagship Annual Conference, three Leaders’ Meetings and quarterly Network Meetings for our six active Practitioner Networks.

A One-Stop Shop for Event Information

We also promote and pass on information for events, exhibitions and conferences organised by third parties we think you might be interested in. Always be in the know.

Event Locations

Our events are held at prestigious locations nationwide, past venues include The Houses of Parliament, The Chester Grosvenor, The Lowry Hotel, Rudding Park Hotel & Conference Centre Harrogate, The Lowry Arts Centre, Hilton Manchester Deansgate, and the Boardroom at Manchester United Football Club. We aim to be fair geographically and hold events throughout the UK. If you know of a great venue, or would like to host an SSFUK event then we would love to hear from you.

Leaders Meetings

We host three Leaders’ Meetings per year, including a Summer Social and Christmas Luncheon, attended by each member organisation’s SSC Leader; alongside selected partners.

Held at venues such as the House of Commons, Imperial War Museum North, and Haydock Park Racecourse, with past speakers such as Jeffrey Archer and Lord Paddy Ashdown, these are not events to be missed.

Network Meetings

The lifeblood of Shared Services Forum UK, our six active Practitioner Networks have been set up by members who have identified topics or work functions - Credit Control, FA&R, HR, Lean, Payroll and Purchase to Pay - with a shared appetite to come together on a regular basis to discuss key issues and best practice. Hosted at member organisation’s SSCs, these events are held quarterly for each Network, and are voluntarily chaired by a member.
